Y <br /> ARCO Marketing Operations a Construction Safety Policy <br /> N. Process Safety Management - 29 CFR 1926.64 <br /> While all hazardous materials pose some risk, some hazardous materials because of inherent <br /> properties, quantity or process may pose a risk large enough to justify additional controls or <br /> other safety measures. This type of environment is typically found in process and or industrial <br /> manufacturing facilities. <br /> Process Safety Management (PSM) attempts to: 1) reduce the likelihood of a release incident; <br /> and 2) reduce the consequence of a release incident should one occur. <br /> A Process Safety Management Program is required if: 1) flammable liquid or gases on-site in <br /> quantities of 10,000 pounds or more (exceptions for motor or heating fuels) and 2) a listed <br /> material is on-site in quantities exceeding the Threshold Quantity (TQ) listed in Appendix A of <br /> the standard. <br /> If a facility is subject to the PSM requirements, the following elements must be addressed: <br /> • process safety information <br /> • process hazard analysis <br /> • operating procedures <br /> • training <br /> • contractor information <br /> • pre-start up safety review <br /> • mechanical integrity procedures <br /> • management of change procedures <br /> • incident investigation <br /> • emergency planning and rescue <br /> • integration of PSM with safety program <br /> • employee participation <br /> O. Lockout/Tagout - 29 CFR 1926.417, 29 CFR 1926.20 and 29 CFR <br /> 1926.200 <br /> The concept of lockout-tagout is straight forward: deactivate a machine or system such that it <br /> cannot cause harm to an employee while the employee repairs or adjusts the machine or <br /> system. Sources of energy may include: <br /> • electrical power <br /> • hydraulic fluids under pressure <br /> • pneumatic power <br /> • gravity <br /> • stored mechanical energy <br /> 7 <br />
